( verse 1 )
( Malique )
Have you ever meet a gurl that you thought was perfect
You waited for her years ‘cause you know she’s worth it
Here’s a lil’ story about this gurl I knew
Since wayback in pre-skool sometimes in ‘82
She had’em 2 pony tail & a front tooth missin’
Wit’ freckles on her cheeks cause the moms Caucasian
Up on the tree house is where chilled together
With carvings on the trunks saying friends forever
She the type who laugh when they normally cried
And when the busy playing house we playin’ bonnie and Clyde
In grade skool everybody knew we partners in crime
We usta bully kids in the playground like all the time
Always seen holdin’ hands to the principal offices
The naughtiest in town & could no other kids stop us
In highskool she switched her desk next to mine
So we could cheat doing pop quizzes all the time
14th of February ‘93
Little Jenny said she had a big surprise for me
Gave me the very first kiss & plus a ring and a card
And said I love u, so I gave the rest of my heart
Couple weeks later called her house at 10
The mama said I thought u was supposed to be with Jen
I quickly rush to her crib, she just got out of a van
I’m like yo who was that? Oh he’s just a friend...

( chorus )( 2X )
You, you got what I need
But you said he’s just a friend,
But you said he’s just a friend

( verse 2 )
( Malique )
So I took Jenny’s word for it at this time
I thought just having a friend it couldn’t be no crime
‘cause even I had friends and baby that for sho
Just like Watson, Hailee, Baby Tash and Joe
So we never talked about the late snack with van man
We rather talk about the future we had planned and
What to name our kids, al-Tarique or Syamar ?
Ayesha or Tisha for a gurl and maybe even bring our
Kids to the little tree house that we chilled at
But then in ’94 I couldn’t help it but to feel sad
Jenny had to leave me to get a little knowledge
100 miles away in this place they call college
First coupla months it was cool but then it had changed yo
She never called and really acted like a strange ho
One day I called it was picked up by a man
I called again, she picked it up and said hey that’s just friend

( bridge )
( V.E )
You know, I know what you have been up to
I know you know what you have been up to

This guy in her study group’s the one who picked up the call
Helpin’ her in chemistry wit cycloxeanol
I got curious and asked who else in ya team ?
She said Ali, Hassan, Noreen and Kareem
The next day I thought of givin’ her a little surprise
But when in front of Jenny’s dorm I couldn’t believe my eyes
I saw the same ugly van in saw in ‘93
I found her room but guess what a brother had to see ?
A fella half naked wit’ my gurl on the couch
And baby Jenny moaning, uggh uggh aggh and ouch
So please listen to the message that I sing
Don’t ever talk to gurl who says she just has a friend

( repeat chorus )

( verse 3 )
( Joe Flizzow )
A lil’ casanova pimp, man I had my flings
Hoodrats to goodie hoodies I was lil’ playa flings
I’ll tell ya when my final year in ‘96
This hunny new in skool joined my class she really sic
She made her pinafore look like a dress from Rodeo,
And clean white shoes lookin’ Ferra than Gamo’s
And white blouse seemed whiter than everybody else’s
Just like them ads on tv man this hunny was the nicest
I had to step to up my game I told her my name
She said her name was Wanda I found out
That we lived in the same street she moved 5 block down
And after 3 dates and 6 banana splits I had it locked down
We was tight but had this lil’ problem though
‘coz Wanda alw0ays acted funny when wit Mary Joe
But when I caught ‘em kissin it wasn’t funny no more
Baby smiled and just said she just a friend yo...
